China Hacked Norway's Visma To Steal Client Secrets, Investigators Say (reuters.com)
A prolific espionage group, which the U.S. government believes is Chinese, compromised billion-dollar business service provider Visma in 2018, according to a report by Recorded Future, a threat intelligence firm. From a report: The attack was part of what Western countries said in December is a global hacking campaign by China's Ministry of State Security to steal intellectual property and corporate secrets, according to Recorded Future. China's Ministry of State Security has no publicly available contacts. The foreign ministry did not respond to a request for comment, but Beijing has repeatedly denied any involvement in cyber-enabled spying. Visma took the decision to talk publicly about the breach to raise industry awareness about the hacking campaign, which is known as Cloudhopper and targets technology service and software providers in order reach their clients. Cyber security firms and Western governments have warned about Cloudhopper several times since 2017 but have not disclosed the identities of the companies affected.
Intellectual property theft is existential necessity for China. Its culture of conformity and rigid hierarchy greatly impedes home-grown innovation. So they have to steal tech from the West or fall behind.
seems like a distraction effort? or trying to co-opt the wildly popular comeback of genuine star gazing & hand waving?
All the Chinese companies I worked with are pretty good at what they do and I have worked with some damn smart Chinese. Don't underestimate China.
So we are just going to spread our cheeks and invite them on in?
Nope, just msmash and the scareword panic clickbait fetish again.
If you think any country respects "intellectual property" you are foolish. The US does this, Russia, China. Lock your crap down and stop complaining.
How many rhinos are left on the planet because of TINY CHINESE COCKS?
Nuke China. Save The Planet!!
PENIS IS SOOOOOO TINY.
Thatd why you extincted the rhinos right.. to MAGICALLY grow your cocks.
IT DIDNT WORK.
You have TINY cocks and everyone knows!
Keep fellating those rhino killers you kuk!
How many tiny Chinese cocks does it take to kill a rhino for its MAGIC HORN THAT GROWS PENIS!!
Think about thay. MILLIONS of modern Chinese men have caused the extinction of large animals because the Chinese have TINY PENISES and belive in MAGIC.
Time to nuke those fuckers off the planet and save the human race!!!
BILLIONS of tiny cocks.
Theres whole Batallions of queer soldiers because they killed all the baby girls twenty years ago.
SHITHOLE COUNTRY.
NUKE IT!
Worked in the nuclear industry and did get to go to China on the AP850 builds (which Westinghouse now calls AP1000 to cover over their negligence in South Carolina and Georgia). Here is the difference. In the US, a manager innovates and it ruffles feathers badly enough, whether it worked or not, and they get fired. In China, a manager innovates and it ruffles feathers badly enough, whether it worked or not, and they get fired upon. Screwing up politically at work can contain the death sentence.
Corrected Title: Yet more commie cyberbúllshít from slashdot ..
“Hackers working on behalf of Chinese intelligence breached the network of Norwegian software firm Visma to steal secrets from its clients” ref
Any company that keeps secrets on a computer connected to the Internet deserves to be hacked and it would be a lot simpler and productive to infiltrate a spy into the organization.
Who's this Western Countries of which you speak?
Only the paranoid United States of America refers to itself as "Western Countries"
The rest of us would prefer to distance ourselves from this ball of crap known as the USA.
Why do you think they block out their cocks in their pornos? They don't want us to see how small their cocks really are. But we already know, jokes on them. LOL
But the US president has weird hair and likes golden showers..
Windbourne has been sucking micropenis Elon right from the beginning.
If anybody knows tiny cocks, it's Windbourne.
Tiny cocks. Thats why they're outbreeding you white faggots, and will soon be the dominant race while yiur kind grow extinct.
Their women have nice tiny pussies to match, unlike your white women who need multiple donkey dicks to satisfy them.
So sell them fake rhino horn powder. Exploit their superstition, get rich, and no need to harm an actual rhino. The horn is made from the same stuff as fingernails, so finding a substitute won't be hard.
